Cissy Patterson, editor of both The Washington Times and the Washington Herald since 1930, leased them from Hearst in 1937. Patterson bought the two papers in 1939, merging them into the Washington Times-Herald. Patterson ran the merged paper from its creation in 1939 until her death in 1948.[8] It was subsequently purchased by Joseph Medill Patterson and Robert McCormick. In 1954, the Times-Herald was purchased by Phillip L. Graham, owner of The Washington Post. For a time, the combined paper was officially known as The Washington Post and Times-Herald. The Times-Herald portion of the nameplate became less and less prominent on a second line in ensuing years, however, and was dropped entirely in 1973.
